I remember years ago reading about a "lesbian" wedding that was legal because of a "loop hole" and everyone was celebrating it as like... a sticking it to the christian right and about what a huge win it was.... it was a straight marriage... a woman and a man in a dress who thinks he's a woman, got married... and we were supposed to celebrate that as OUR win? fuck off... and the craziest part of it was that the greater LGBT community ate it up.

There was a similar case that happened here in Australia many years ago. This straight couple had gotten married somewhere overseas, I think. Then came to Australia. Then the guy transitioned. Same-sex marriage was illegal in Australia at that time, but the couple went to court or something and got their marriage upheld. This was supposed to be a 'win' for the LGBT. How? It's a straight couple who got to keep their marriage after the dude had some surgery and medication. If anything, all it proves is that transitioning doesn't cost a straight man any of his rights.

It took so many years for same-sex marriage to be legalised in Australia, and all the time there's this fricking het couple lording it over us as being the first 'same-sex couple' to get married...They needed to just fuck off back to straightsville.
